Hi

My name is Emelda Paulo, and I'm the Entertainment Manager for City Bars Pte Ltd in Singapore.

We’re the company behind the St James Power Station Entertainment Complex in Singapore, which is scheduled to launch in mid 2006.

This 90,000 sq ft venue will comprise of 9 distinct entertainment outlets. One of our outlets is a 7000 sq ft Latin Music Room where we're planning to feature resident bands from South America on a 3-6 month contract each time, as well as managers, bartenders and servers from South America. We’re also keen to promote the culture and attractions of each country through promotions and our website, as well as feature their food, drinks, film, art, design etc. For us, we want to be as authentic as possible.
Just wondering if you can help us source such resident bands or be able to put us in contact with anyone from South America. We’re planning to travel to Brazil & Cuba in January 2006 to audition bands and interview staff. It would be great if you can help us in our search for such talent:
This is what we are specifically looking for:

Resident Band
- 7 piece, preferably with female singer
- Plus 2 female dancers (optional)
- Length of contract: 3-4 months, although I believe most bands prefer only 3 months
- First band: arrive mid-July 06, launch the club end July 06 and finish contract early Nov 06
- Second band: early Nov 06 to early Feb 07, and so forth …
Style of music: samba, batucada, rumba
- Performing 5 to 6 nights per week, 2-3 sets per night
- Accommodation: apartment (close to venue)
- We will also provide return airfares (economy class), local transport to venue, and food/drink allowances
- Salaries will be on par with local salaries
If you have materials of such bands including their photo, CD, bio, it would be great if you can send these to us in Singapore.
I look fwd to your reply.
Thanx
